Get the lamb out of the fridge at least an hour before you cook it. Pat it dry, salt it (not too heavily, and preferably coarse ground), then oil it (preferably something with a high smoke point), then leave it to reach room temperature for however long you have, not more than a couple of hours.

Get a stainless steel or cast iron pan large enough for two chops, put some oil (preferably high smoke point) in it, turn the heat on high, and let it reach that temperature. Close the kitchen door and put the chops in. How often you turn the chops is preference but has an effect on browning, as does the thickness of the chops -- you want the exterior properly seared by the time the interior is cooked to your satisfaction. Near the end of frying, you can baste them with butter if you want, but watch out: it can burn. I pull lamb off at 55C; probe thermometers are the most effective route to consistence cooking.

Place the chops on a plate, garnish them with butter and herbs (this is purely preference; I love garlic, rosemary and thyme), cover them with foil, and let them stand for five to ten minutes before serving. Bear in mind that the internal temperature will rise 2-3C while they stand; you're aiming for 55C for medium-rare and 60C for medium by the end.

Note that you can use this recipe for pork chops, beef steak, pugs, etc, but the required temperatures will vary.

What's the best spatula to cook with? Specifically, for cast iron/ stainless steel pans.

I wouldn't claim to speak the truth all the time, but I don't take out adverts in newspapers or stuff mailboxes to spread those lies either.

One time I called it "bubble tea" and my Chinese friend from California roasted me. "What the hell is bubble tea? You mean BOBA, right?" Does everyone around you only call it bubble tea? Also have you seen/heard many funny reactions to the tapioca balls? I explained the concept of bubble tea to a co-worker once and he looked disgusted and told me he doesn't want to chew his tea.

Please come back soon, bubble tea anon.

I have a 14in. stainless fry pan that's literally too big for my stove. It hikes up on the splash lip when placed directly on the burner. Are there platform coils or another way to make the coils taller so the pan can sit centered?

the slower paced lifestyle is a big factor I presume, but it also might just be french genetics

better fats? From butter? Fuck dude my mom does nothing but eat butter and she's as fit as a whistle. I've literally seen her eat several tablespoons just by letting it melt in her mouth. Does no excercise either.
Also, not all french people do the Mediterranean diet so the only other fat they're all getting is likely cheese. They're not aversive to beef either, I don't think

That's just your opinion anon, lots of people really like the taste of IPAs! Maybe that explains why they're so common nowadays?

It's a god damn shame that cooking channel has gone this way.

If I remember correctly, it was created as a place for the more instructional cooking shows like the ones that made food network a success in the first place.

Now, it's just shitty vh-1 tier "celebrity" shows and reruns of the god awful FN cooking/baking competitions and "Next Food Network Star".

Fuck everything.
